Abstract (en)

[origin: US2011022817A1] A method for executing a plurality of data-parallel threads of a processing logic on a processor core includes grouping the plurality of data-parallel threads into one or more workgroups, associating a first workgroup from the one or more workgroups with an operating system thread on the processor core, and configuring threads from the first workgroup as user-level threads within the operating system thread. In an example, a method enables the execution of GPU-kernels that has been previously configured for a GPU, to execute on a CPU such as a multi-core CPU. The mapping of the numerous data-parallel threads to the CPU is done in such a manner as to reduce the number of costly operating system threads instantiated on the CPU, and to enable efficient debugging.
